This same line-up also recorded the next release, the EP "Scanner part 1 & 2" in 1981. After this line-up changes were afoot, with Weber and Grosskopf leaving; leaving the duo of Hanten and Meskes - and this duo would be the only permanent mebers of this project further on. In 1982 they hit the studio again, to make their second full-length album. Former member Weber made a guest appearance on this venture along with Helmut Brüker; and the finalized result was issued in June 1983, named "Time Code". In December 1983 Hanten and Meskes hit the studio again; this time without guest musicians. Two months later their third album was completed, and was issued in the first half of 1984 as "Wonders From the Genetic Factory.
Late in 1985 You started recording what was to be their last album in this first phase of their existence. Featuring guest appearances from Jaime Zenamon and Klaus Gertken. "Laserscape" was made availble to the general public in April 1986.
Following this release Hanten and Meskes hooked up with former member Grosskopf to form the project "Central Europe Performance"; an outfit concentrating on live performances. In the just over 20 years this still existing project many musicians have been involved; with Hanten and Meskes as the core foundation of the outfit. 1995 saw a new addition to the discography of You, with the release of the multimedia production "00:1996:00", and the following year the 5 CD box compilation "Era" saw the light of day.
In 2000 You chose to change moniker, and opted for the use of Yourovion; and releases a fair number of albums of various kinds under that name. In April 2009 Hanten and Meskes announced that they would return to their former moniker You, and that they'll herald the 30th anniversary of their debut album with a limited edition CD package names "The Electric Box".
Ruins
You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your kin and friends taking their bodies in
and trading them for ends.
We took our bodies and we put them up
to fend against their bodies and the cycle never ends.
Taste it! Taste it!
What are we now?
Two eyes and eight/seven seams all working
to go forget our bodies and just taste it?
They're busy pissing family colors out.
Going out dinner with our mothers.
Coming back and fucking in our sons/daughters.
But they don't know what they're doing
because they don't know how to damage how we love.
So they damage what we love.
In "Ruins," You delve into the complex dynamics of relationships, specifically within families. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a destructive cycle that perpetuates itself through generations. The song begins by referencing the clientele, representing the kin and friends who are willingly sacrificing their bodies and integrity for personal gain. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for compromising one's values and self-worth for material success or fitting into societal expectations.
The singer acknowledges their own participation in this cycle by stating, "We took our bodies and we put them up to fend against their bodies," suggesting that they too have succumbed to the pressure and are using their bodies as a shield of defense. The repeated line, "Taste it! Taste it! What are we now?" highlights the desperation and confusion in trying to reclaim identity and purpose amidst this destructive environment.
The lyrics further explore the consequences of these actions, with references to intimate relationships within the same family. The line "Coming back and fucking in our sons/daughters" signifies the blurred boundaries and emotional damage caused by this toxic cycle. The singer laments that those perpetuating this destructive love don't truly understand the extent of the harm they inflict because they are unaware of how to damage the core of love itself.
Ultimately, "Ruins" presents a bleak and introspective commentary on the destructive nature of familial relationships and the struggle to break free from the cycle of harm and disconnection.
